Appointment Calendar for WordPress can make the life of your clients easier.

Managed from within WordPress

Appointment Calendar is a simple yet powerful plugin for accepting appointments on your WordPress site. No need to use third party appointment booking services. Everything can be managed from inside the WordPress admin panel.

How to create your first Appointment Calendar

From WordPress dashboard, click Plugins > Add New.

Type the name of the plugin into search box and click Install Now.

Then click the Activate button. “Appointment Calendar” immediately shows up in black column.

Click Settings > Calendar Settings

This will get you to the Manage Calendar Settings panel that you see above. Notice the Booking Button Text box. That shows you the blue button that you will see in the box in #7 below. Then notice the Booking Instructions box. The image in #6 below is the HTML code that you see in the box below. It results in the text above the blue button in #7. Note that it is not necessary to use any HTML tags if you do not want to.

To add the form to a page, use the short code “APCAL” or else “APCAL_MOBILE” inside square brackets. Add the shortcode anywhere on a page or post in Visual view. Your Appointment Calendar will appear at the top of the page. So, it is usually best to have nothing but the Appointment Calendar on a page.

To see an example of the Appointment Calendar live, go to this demo page.

Mobile version is different

Note that when you use the mobile version, no calendar shows up. In order to see the calendar, you must tap the blue button.
